UNDEATH More Insane [CD]

New York-based death metal greats Undeath emerge from festering slime with their new
album, More Insane, for Prosthetic Records. Previous album It's Time... To Rise from the
Grave caught a wave of acclaim on TheNeedleDrop's YouTube channel, earned Best New
Music from Pitchfork, and, most impressively, rocketed to the top of Decibel Magazine's Top
40 Albums of 2022, along with a coveted cover feature. On More Insane, Undeath—featuring
Kyle Beam (guitars), Alexander Jones (vocals), Tommy Wall (bass), Jared Welch (guitars),
and Matt Browning (drums)—feast on the rotten flesh of brutality, complexity, and depravity.
Singles "Brandish the Blade," "Disputatious Malignancy," and the title track are imbued with
death metal's immortal soul but possess Undeath's inimitable energy, pit-friendly hooks, and
work-hardened ethos.
Undeath rose to infamy since forming in Rochester, New York, in 2018. From the gory, wildeyed
splatter of the band's embryonic period (Demo '19 and Sentient Autolysis) to the
fervent fan and press acclaim of debut Lesions of a Different Kind (2020) and Billboard
Chart-topping successor It's Time..., the Rochesterians' mastery of the extremely extreme is
no mean feat. They've logged over 250 shows to date (sharing the stage with Exodus, The
Black Dahlia Murder, Suffocation, et al.), played festivals in the U.S. (Decibel Metal & Beer
Fest, Milwaukee Metalfest), Denmark (Copenhell), the Netherlands (Into the Grave), the U.K.
(Download, Damnation), and Beam even has a Dunable Guitars signature model, the
'Skeletonizer.' Undeath not only knuckled down on effort, but most importantly, they've
written great songs, like "Rise from the Grave," "Lesions of a Different Kind," and
"Necrobionics." More Insane intensifies all aspects of Undeath's horrifying visage.
